![]() | "After a remarkable series of events, a treasure trove of Early Bronze Age gold has gone on display in Ireland for the first time. Police officers recovered the ancient artifacts in 2009, after they were tossed in a dumpster along with the stolen safe they had been kept in at Sheehan’s Pharmacy in Strokestown, Co. Roscommon. It is believed that the thieves had failed to notice the 5,000-year-old gold hidden among documents when they dumped out the contents of the safe. http://www.irishcentral.com/news/Ancient-gold-horde-found-in-dumpster-goes-on-display-132608168.html |
